lays a part of Heaven in its place. How blessed are you who let this
gift be given! Each part of Heaven that you bring is given YOU.And
every empty place in Heaven that you fill again with the Eternal
Light you bring shines now on YOU.The means of sinlessness can
know no fear because they carry only love with them.
Children of peace, the light HAScome to you. The light you
bring you do not recognize, and yet you will remember. Who can
deny himself the vision that he brings to others? And who would fail
to recognize a gift he let be laid in Heaven through himself? The
gentle service that you give the Holy Spirit is service to yourself.You
who are now His means must love all that He loves. And what you
bring is your remembrance of everything that is eternal. No trace of
anything in time can long remain in minds that serve the timeless.
And no illusion can disturb the peace of a relationship which has
become the means of peace.
When you have looked upon each other with complete
forgiveness, from which no error is excluded and nothing kept
hidden, what mistake can there be anywhere you cannot overlook?
What form of suffering could block your sight, preventing you from
seeing past it? And what illusion could there be you will not
recognize as a mistake; a shadow through which you walk completely
undismayed? God would let nothing interfere with those whose wills
are His, and serve it willingly. And COULDremembrance of what
they are be long delayed?
You will see your value through each other’s eyes, and each one
is released as he beholds his Savior in place of the attacker who he
thought was there. Through this releasing is the world released. This
is your part in bringing peace. For you have asked what is your
function here, and have been answered. Seek not to change it, nor to
substitute another goal. Accept this one and serve it willingly, for
what the Holy Spirit does with the gifts you give each other, to
whom He offers them, and where and when, is up to Him. He will
bestow them where they are received and welcomed. He will use
every one of them for peace. Nor will one little smile or willingness
to overlook the tiniest mistake be lost to anyone.
What can it be but universal blessing to look on what your
Father loves with charity? Extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit’s
